Assembly Instructions
Note: If you are wall mounting this piece, you will not need the 8 Shelf base screws.
Step 1
A. Before assembling, turn base piece upside down
B. Attach 8 Shelf base screws (part #114947 115988) to all screw holes in the base piece of the
shelf.

Step 2
Turn the base piece back upright, and place the 8
screws (part #113287) into the 8 holes positioned along
the long sides of the base piece.
NOTE: These are positioned on both long sides at both
ends and 1/3 and 2/3 of the length (4 per side as shown
to the left).
Step 3
A. Attach both vertical end pieces to the
outside sets of screws from Step 2.
B. Attach 4 small horizontal screw heads
(part #114927 115624) into the holes at
the base of the vertical end pieces, 2
per side as shown to the left.

Step 4
A. Attach two more vertical shelf
pieces on the remaining two sets
of screws in the base,
B. Screw in two large
horizontal screws (part #114926
115263) into each piece as
shown to the left.
Step 5
Now take the top piece of the shelf and
screw in the 8 remaining extended head
screws (part #114928) from the top side
as shown to the left.

Step 6
A. Take the top piece of the shelf and
attach it to the rest of the shelf,
leaving a small gap along the back
side as shown above on the left.
B. Take your 4 remaining large
horizontal screws(part #114926
115263) and attach them to the top
side of the 2 inside vertical pieces.
Step 7
A.Insert the small horizontal screws
(#114927) into the top holes on
either end of the shelf.
B.Put the screw in with the small
arrow pointing up.
C.Use a screwdriver to screw it in until
the arrow points down.

Step 8
A. Rotate the shelf 180
degrees so that the
slider bar faces you.
B. Place the clips (#124187) on the
slider bar by putting the top lip in the
top compartment, then rotating the
clip downwards into the bottom
compartment until it clicks in. Refer
to the picture on the left.
C. Place one clip above each vertical support
piece, along with one directly in the middle
of each outer segment, and two pieces in
the middle of the center segment, splitting
the center segment into thirds.
Step 9
A. Slide the clip that was just placed a
few inches away from the end.
B. Screw down the L shaped piece
(#124185 and 124186).
C. Line up the holes on the shelf and L
shaped piece and have the vertical
part of the L shaped piece line up with
the outside of the shelf.
D. Use the pointed screws (#109049).
Slide the clip back until it touches the
piece that was just placed.
E. Repeat this step on the other end.

Step 10
A. Attach the flat pieces with slots (#124168 - #124173). The longest pieces (#124168 and
124169) go all the way at the end with two on each side. Attach them to the clips by
positioning the pieces vertically with the hooks on the bottom and facing towards the
shelf. Push them into the clip and then rotate them down so that they cover up the clip
from the top.
B. Place the smaller pieces (#124170 and 124171) just inside the ones you just placed
using the same method.
C. The last piece with the lip (#124172 and 124173) goes directly in the center of the shelf.
It can just be placed flat the lip on the outside. The notch on the bottom should fit into
the clip.
D. Make sure that each clip is spaced so that it is connected to two flat pieces on the ends.
